The Elder Scrolls Oblivion remake is real, and you can buy it right now

Nearly 20 years after its release on Xbox 360, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is actually coming back. Original developer Bethesda shared a quick post on its X account on Monday confirming an announcement livestream on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Well, the stream came and went, and we can confirm there is not only a spiffy new Oblivion remaster, but it's out now on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a full remake of the 2006 original, with visuals updated from scratch and a host of other changes. Combat has apparently been reworked with new hit feedback animations and audio effects, there's new voice acting to distinguish different races from one another, and the user interface and leveling systems have been reconsidered.
